Integrative Aspects of Epithelial Structure and Function
A Tribute To John Phillips
Society for Comparative and Integrative Biology
January 6, 2001
| This symposium is being presented in honor of John E. Phillips, who recently retired from the University of British Columbia. John has had a long and distinguished career as a comparative physiologist working on ion transport in insects. He has influenced generations of biologists by studying epithelial structure and function using ultrastructural, microanalytical, electrophysiological, hormonal, and molecular approaches. This symposium will feature talks describing studies on epithelial biology that employ a diversity of techniques, ranging from molecular biology to whole animal performance. |
